It has been revealed that less than a week before Lamar Odom was arrested on suspicion of DUI he was involved in a three-car collision on the exact same freeway.

The crash was not reported to authorities, however a journalist for the Los Angeles Times has claimed that his car was rear-ended by another vehicle hit by Odom’s white Mercedes on Saturday.

The LA Times claims the incident took place around 6pm and the journalist named Adolfo Flores alleges that Odom became reluctant to hand his insurance details over. t is the only the type of family drama that Kris Jenner wouldn’t want broadcasted on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

The Downtown Hotel in Dawson City, Canada is famous for its Sourtoe Cocktail. It involves dropping a severed human toe, that has been mummified in salt, into a glass of Yukon Jack whisky, saying “You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow, but your lips have gotta touch the toe” and then downing the shot. Well, an American man decided to drink the Sourtoe Cocktail, but with a twist. He swallowed the toe whole! Drinking the toe cost him $500, but it was definitely a memorable and disgusting way to leave town.

The knockout game involves “unprovoked attacks on innocent bystanders,” according to police who have had to deal with it. A retired officer explained, “Normally it was a group of black males, one of which would strike him as hard as he could in the face, attempting to knock him out with one punch,” says retired Sgt. Don Pizzo. The victims are typically not robbed, but simply punched with no provocation. Such attacks have been reported in Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, and New Jersey.

Stock market declines, especially the violent kind we refer to as “crashes,” are pretty hard to predict.

True, for every crash one or two visionaries emerge who called the market decline with unusual accuracy. In time, we generally conclude that these visionaries were more lucky than prescient, because there are no records of prognosticators who predict market crashes more than once.

But this time may be different.

The Federal Reserve has been propping up the stock market through its quantitative easing program that forced interest rates to all-time lows and drove investors out of bonds and into stocks.

But those days may be coming to an end.

For one, the Fed can’t keep printing money to buy U.S. bonds. Bond purchases by the Fed, with printed money, account for about three-quarters of all Treasury bond purchases resulting in a Federal Reserve balance sheet that exceeds $3.6 trillion.

The stock market reacted with a hefty decline of 2.5 percent on June 20. By June 24, the stock market had declined almost 5 percent in less than a week.

Now this isn’t a crash by any measure, but it might be a harbinger of things to come. Here’s where the predictability thesis come in.

We know that the market won’t like any reduction in Fed purchases. So what will happen when the Fed not only reduces its bond purchases, but stops them altogether? Hasn’t the market told us how it will react?

I think so. Moreover, QE is likely to end by December or early next year, so that gives us a projected timetable of coming events.

What’s an investor to do?

Most investors have substantial gains in 2013. Stock are up 17 percent through late August and investors are eager to protect their gains.

American President Barack Obama received a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people.”

The head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Alexei Pushkov suggested U.S. President Barack Obama should be deprived of the Nobel Peace Prize in the event the Americans strike a military blow on Syria, he wrote on Twitter on Friday, August 30.

“If the United States strike Syria without a sanction from the UN, the world community must demand the Nobel committee should deprive Obama of the Peace Prize,” he wrote.
